The Husker women beat a ranked Michigan State team yesterday, just four days after losing (by two points) to an even higher ranked Michigan squad. I’ll have the recap for you later this morning, but the ladies have adjusted to the personnel they have available and are really playing to their strengths.
One of those strengths is defense. They are holding teams WELL below (sometimes 20+ points) below their scoring average in recent games.

One of my projects this past year was to take a picture from the same spot every day here on the ranch. I tried to do it within a two-hour window each morning.
Little did I know when I launched the project on January 1, 2020 that it would turn out to be a year where I was home EVERY day. I turned the pictures into a slide show video.
There were some really beautiful moments in 2020.
